At 12 I cosplayed as a monk. Is this a sin?translated

Reader question:

Hello. As a child, at the age of 12, I bought a monastic hood, a pectoral cross and priestly vestments and put them on. He made a monastic robe out of a cassock and, as it were, served an all-night vigil and liturgy. Is this considered a sin?

Hello, Ivan.

The wise King Solomon in his book Ecclesiastes writes the following:

“For everything there is a time, and a time for every purpose under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to destroy, and a time to build; a time to cry, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to scatter stones, and a time to gather stones; a time to hug, and a time to avoid hugs; time to seek, and time to lose; a time to save, and a time to throw away; a time to rend, and a time to sew together; a time to be silent and a time to speak; a time to love and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace” (Eccl. 3:1–8).

It seems to me that it would be much better if you, Ivan, refrained from various rash actions in the future, because they clearly will not bring any benefit to you or the people around you. Please remember that...
